The Fretliners - Where the Green Grass Grows

Dew drops on a cactus rose
Desert sands between my toes
The whippoorwill cries for rain
Lonesome cloud taunts my pain

Mouth's as dry as sun bleached bones
Canyon winds they howl and moan
I'm weary now but I can't press on
Coyote sings a mournful song

There's a time to take, and a time to give
There's a time to die, and a time to live
Buzzards circlin' o'er my lonesome dying soul
I'll meet you someday up where the green grass grows

Sun's as hot as a campfire coal
Now my tale will go untold
I'm thinking of my sweetheart Marie
And the last words she ever said to me

I love you more than you'll ever know
Do one more job, Tom, come back home
I'm sorry dear but I have to leave
I hear the angels callin' out for me

There's a time to take, and a time to give
There's a time to die, and a time to live
Buzzards circlin' o'er my lonesome dying soul
I'll meet you someday up where the green grass grows

Now my time is drawing near
My bones to bask on the lone frontier
I'm a coachman robbed and left for dead
With the key they need around my neck

There's a time to take, and a time to give
There's a time to die, and a time to live
Buzzards circlin' o'er my lonesome dying soul
I'll meet you someday up where the green grass grows
